Lieutenant General Hitesh Bhalla, the General Officer Commanding of the Fire & Fury Corps, recently visited forward posts under the Forever In Operations Division and the Siachen Brigade to evaluate operational preparedness and troop morale in these critical areas.
During his visit, Lt Gen Bhalla conducted a thorough assessment of the units’ operational readiness, expressing admiration for the troops’ steadfast resilience and dedication, particularly in the challenging high-altitude environments they operate in. He highlighted the importance of modern technological integration among the personnel, noting how it significantly enhances their operational effectiveness.
In his address to the troops, the General Officer emphasized the necessity of upholding high standards of professionalism and maintaining continuous operational readiness. He reiterated the corps’ unwavering commitment to protecting India’s strategic frontiers, reinforcing the pivotal role that each soldier plays in national defense.
In addition to his visit, discussions are ongoing within the Northern Command regarding future warfare strategies and technological synergy, particularly through initiatives like ‘Samvad: Op Without Boundaries’. This focus on modern warfare and resource acquisition is evident as the Army makes plans to procure AK-630 air defense guns for deployment along the Pakistan border. Furthermore, in a show of recognition and support, the Army Chief recently felicitated medal winners at the World Para Athletics Championships held in New Delhi, underscoring the Army’s continued engagement with both operational and community-oriented initiatives.
